Insurance brokerage Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. is in talks to buy a portfolio of assets from Aon Plc and Willis Towers Watson Plc for about $3 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
An agreement could be reached in the coming weeks, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. Assets in Germany, Spain, France, and the Netherlands as well as Willis Towers’ reinsurance business will be part of the package deal, the people said. No final decision has been made, the structure could still change and discussions could fall through, they said.
